* And the LORD spoke to Moses , saying , * Speak to the sons of Israel , and say to them , When a man or woman shall separate in order to vow a vow of a Nazarite , in order to separate to the LORD , * he shall separate from wine and strong drink and shall drink no vinegar of wine , or vinegar of strong drink ; neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes , nor eat moist grapes or dried . * All the days of his Nazariteship he shall eat nothing that is made of the grapevine , from grape seeds even to a stem . * All the days of his vow to separate , no razor shall come upon his head . Until all the days are fulfilled in which he separates to the LORD , he shall be holy . He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow . * All the days that he separates to the LORD , he shall not come near any dead body . * He shall not make himself unclean for his father , or for his mother , or for his brother , or for his sister , when they die , because his separation to his God [is ] upon his head . * All the days of his separation he [is ] holy to the LORD . * And if any man dies very suddenly beside him , and he has defiled the head of his consecration , then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing , on the seventh day he shall shave it . * And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to the priest , to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation . * And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering , and make an atonement for him , because he sinned by the dead , and shall make his head holy that same day . * And he shall set apart to the LORD the days of his separation , and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a guilt offering . But the former days shall be lost , because his separation was defiled . * And this [is ] the law of the Nazarite , when the days of his separation are fulfilled . He shall be brought to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation . * And he shall offer his offering to the LORD : one male lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering , and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering , and one ram without blemish for peace offerings , * and a basket of unleavened cakes of fine flour , cakes mixed with oil , and unleavened wafers anointed with oil , and their food offerings and their drink offerings . * And the priest shall bring [them ] before the LORD and shall offer his sin offering and his burnt offering . * And he shall offer the ram [for ] a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD , with the basket of unleavened bread . The priest shall offer also his food offering and his drink offering . * And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation , and shall take the hair of the head of his separation and put [it ] in the fire under the sacrifice of the peace offerings . * And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram and one unleavened cake out of the basket , and one unleavened wafer , and shall put [them ] on the hands of the Nazarite , after his separation has been shaved . * And the priest shall wave them [for ] a wave offering before the LORD . This [is ] holy for the priest , with the wave breast and heave shoulder . And afterward the Nazarite may drink wine . * This [is ] the law of the Nazarite who has vowed his offering to the LORD for his separation , besides that which he is able to get . According to the vow which he vowed , so he must do according to the law of his separation .
